Next To Me: Emmett Cullen(old Version)

Chapter 13

Emmett drove me to school the next morning. We had a field trip so we had to get there a tad bit early. When we got there I manly talked to Rosalie, Damon, and Stefan.

The group of us hid in a corner as Mr. Molino shouted at everyone for permission slips.

"what's up kid?" Mike said coming up to me and Rosalie. "your alive!" he said mimicking Victor Frankenstein. Rosalie rolled her eyes and Damon tried not to laugh at Mike's lousy attempts to flirt.

"so I was wondering if you maybe want to go to prom?" he asked. That's when damon's laughter busted out. Mike tried to give him a death glare but Damon was far to go to pay attention.

"sorry about him" I smiled. "umm I can't I have something going on that day"

Rosalie came to my rescue and put her arm on my shoulder. "we're going to Alaska that week to see our cousins and we wanted shelbs to tag along"

"you can't go another week?" he asked softly. "nope" Rosalie said very bluntly.

Before mike could walk off I stopped him. "you should ask Bella I think she needs a date and a distraction" he smiled and walked off.

"you know she gonna turn him down too, right?" Alice said coming up with Jasper. I shrugged "as long as he's not bothering me were good."

"hay shelbs how you feeling? Marshall asked coming up to me with Vincent. He looked at the group I was with kinda shocked."oh this is Marshall, he's my best friend"

"nice to meet you" Alice smiled. Marshall nodded before hitting my shoulder slightly. "see ya later"

"he's jealous" Jasper mumbled. "who's jealous?" Emmett said finally returning to the group."shelby's friend" Stefan mumbled.

"guys let's go!" Mr. Molina shouted making our conversation take a pause.

°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°

"so how long do you have to wear the brace?" Emmett asked as we walked into the greenhouse with the rest of the class.

"at least six weeks, same with driving which sucks" I said looking at the black brace Dr. Cullen put on me. "well I guess I can be your personal showfer" Emmett chuckled.

To be honest I would rather walk. It's not that I didn't want to be around Emmett and love the thought of him taking care of me but I can't handle one more acadent that involves a car.

"well aren't you just a night in shining armor" I teased as I watched Tyler and Eric make compost tea for Mr. Molina. "only for you" he smirked. I felt like returning that statement with playful comment but I didn't get the chance.

"Shelby" bella mumbled as she slipped and about to me down with her. One of Emmett's hands grabbed my hood and the other wrapped around my front preventing me from falling.

"sorry, sorry" Bella stuttered as she placed her hands on my shoulders. "it's fine, what do you want"

"mike asked me to prom"

"figured as much, your welcome" her eyes bugged out. "why?!"

"what did you say?" Emmett asked wrapping his arm on my shoulder. "told  him I was going to Jacksonville"

"what's in Jacksonville?" Edward suddenly said behind us. Emmett rolled his eyes at his brother and pulled me towards Jasper, Alice, and Stefan.

"Edward just kinda sucks at talking to girls, doesn't he?" I asked. Damon laughed as he walked up to us with Rosalie. "well he kinda has to hide what he is, Emmett doesn't"

I rolled my eyes as we walked towards the busses to go back to the school. Emmett and I were first on the bus. When we got on the bus I got anxious as the engine started. I felt sick to my stomach as the wheels inched forward and the sound of ice and snow being slushed around by the wheels made it worse.

My chest got tighter and I didn't realize my leg was nervously bouncing in till Emmett put a comforting hand on my thigh. I took a breath and placed my hand on his lacing our fingers together.

"are you alright?" he asked softly. I nodded and moved closer to his side and rested my head on his shoulder.

The ride was got better knowing that Emmett was there. He made me felt safer and I knew nothing would happen knowing him and his family were there. The rest of the way me Emmett listened to music and Damon was behind us making us laugh the whole time. I felt good to have theses people around and it made it easier to except the imprint.
